What is Applied Behaviour Analysis (ABA) Therapy?
Applied Behaviour Analysis (ABA) is a well-established, evidence-based approach that supports positive outcomes for individuals, families, and communities. By understanding how behaviour works, ABA helps increase helpful behaviours and reduce barriers to learning—supporting meaningful skill development.
At Papillon, our Registered Behaviour Analysts (Ontario) and experienced clinicians use individualized, evidence-based strategies to teach essential skills in communication, learning, social interaction, and daily living.
Our therapy is designed to be engaging, supportive, and respectful of each child’s unique needs. We work closely with families, involving you throughout your child’s growth and development.
How ABA Therapy Works
At Papillon, ABA therapy is always personalized to your child’s unique strengths, challenges, and goals. Here’s what families can expect from our process:
- Assessment and Goal Setting
We begin with a comprehensive assessment to better understand your child’s abilities and needs. Together with your family, we identify meaningful goals that are achievable and relevant to your child’s development. - Individualized Treatment Plan
Using the assessment results, we develop a tailored treatment plan focused on your child’s specific behavioural and developmental goals. These plans are flexible and evolve as your child grows and progresses. - Implementation and Ongoing Monitoring
Our skilled therapists use evidence-based strategies to implement your child’s plan in a supportive and structured environment. Progress is carefully tracked, and the plan is regularly adjusted to ensure the best outcomes. - Family Involvement
We believe therapy works best when families are fully engaged. We provide guidance, coaching, and support to help you reinforce your child’s learning and celebrate progress at home and in the community.
